The fire signs share an instinct to act before the picture is complete. That is usually a strength, and this week the sky rewards it in one area and asks for patience in another.

What is happening overhead

Mercury moving through an earth sign slows down how quickly agreements get made. For signs that prefer to move first and adjust later, that is friction rather than obstruction — it means the thing you want will happen, and it will take a step you had not budgeted for.

Aries

The direct approach works this week, but only after you have asked one question you have been assuming the answer to. Ask it. The answer is probably what you thought, and having confirmed it changes how confidently you can move.

Leo

Something you have been carrying alone is more shareable than it feels. The instinct to present only the finished version is costing you help. Show someone the middle of it.

Sagittarius

A plan you made quickly is holding up better than you expected. Resist the urge to improve it. The version you have is good and the revision would mostly be restlessness.

The general note

Fire signs tend to read a slow week as a bad one. It is not. Momentum that pauses is not momentum that ends, and this particular pause has a date on it.
